Despite image experts claiming the photos had been digitally altered, Winslet insisted she condemns heavy Photoshopping and had worked hard to achieve her svelte figure ahead of the shoot.

Her representative said: 'Kate is furious at suggestions that her body has been airbrushed.

The real McCoy: Winslet how she normally looks

'She is in terrific shape and what you see is how she looks or she would never have agreed to pose for those shots.'

Vanity Fair said there had been a 'minimal amount of retouching' to the pictures.

In a recent interview with the Mail's Baz Bamigboye, Winslet admitted her glamorous appearance in the magazine was far from her real-life persona.

She said: 'The whole shoot was about doing the character. I feel like I was playing the part and not me - it doesn't feel like me. It took six hours to set up the lighting and the hair and make-up, because I obviously don't look like that all the time.'
